Got a dental problem, but not what the right solution for your unique situation is?
If you need help with dental care but aren’t sure what the right treatment for you is, Beenleigh Marketplace Dental can help. We offer everything from solutions for discoloured, misshapen teeth to dental pain and replacing missing teeth.
If you are unhappy with the overall colour of your teeth, you have a couple of options.
The most popular option is what’s commonly referred to as teeth whitening. This is a bleaching process that alters the shade of your tooth by 8 to 10 shades. For cosmetic issues, this can be a great solution.
The procedure only takes an hour and the results are seen as soon as treatment is complete. And results can last 9 to 12 months. Longer if you take care of your oral health. Longer still if you get take-home teeth whitening top up kits.
Another option is dental veneers. This treatment involves placing thin shells of porcelain bonded to your teeth. An added advantage veneers have over teeth bleaching is that they can change the shape and size of the teeth.
Which is ideal if you’ve got minor chips or cracks that you would like covered up.
Sometimes a combination of teeth bleaching and dental veneers is the best way to achieve a whiter smile.
The reason for this is simple. Dental veneers are colour matched to your smile to blend in seamlessly. If your teeth are yellow or even a little discoloured, it is often recommended to have a tooth whitening treatment first.
This is beneficial because it means your veneers will be colour matched to your new healthy-looking whiter smile. And since bleaching doesn’t affect dental veneers, it means that later when you get a top up tooth whitening treatment, you’ll have a consistent, healthy-looking white smile.
The best way to replace missing teeth depends on:
Beenleigh Marketplace Dental offer three options to replace missing teeth:
A dental bridge is a false tooth. It can be attached to one or two dental crowns, bonded straight onto adjacent teeth or secured with a dental implant.
The most common option is the dental bridge attached to dental crowns. This involves preparing either one or both of the healthy teeth on either side of the gap for dental crowns. The crown(s) is then cemented to the healthy teeth and the gap is bridged by the false tooth.
This option is a budget-friendly, effective way to replace a missing tooth.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root. Made from biocompatible material, the dental implant is surgically inserted in to your jaw where it is used to anchor either a dental implant crown, bridge or denture.
For patients in good health (both oral and general health), this is treatment has benefits over and above non-implant supported tooth replacement options.
With a dental implant your jaw is being looked after as well as your gums and teeth. This is a result of the jawbone fusing with the dental implant which helps with health jawbone stimulation—an important part of keeping your jawbone healthy.
While this treatment has the most benefits it also has the longest treatment time. It can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to complete this treatment. But at the completion of treatment you will have a long-lasting, healthy tooth replacement option that takes care of your teeth, gums, and jaw.
People have been using dentures to replace missing teeth for centuries. This tried and tested method of replacing missing teeth is the least involved of all the methods. Dentures can be used to replace one tooth or a whole arch of teeth.
Some patients choose to have the dentures secured with 2 to 6 dental implants depending on the health of their jaw and the size of the denture.
Who doesn’t want healthy teeth and gums?
Admittedly, most people want this for cosmetic reasons. After all, healthy teeth and gums look good. The best way to get healthy teeth and gums is by visiting Beenleigh Marketplace Dental for regular check-up and cleans.
For some patients they need to visit us every 6 months for a check-up and clean. Others come every 6 months for a clean, but only need a check-up every 12 months. Then for patients with gum disease or other health conditions, they may need to visit every 3 months.
The only way you’ll know how often you need a dental appointment is by visiting the dentist. They will assess your oral health and let you know when your next appointment should be.
Pain is your body’s way of saying something is wrong. Don’t ignore it. If you are experiencing dental pain that won’t go away. Call us. We put time aside each working day to see emergency cases.
If you are experiencing a dull, throbbing pain that comes and goes, book a consultation to see us. And just because you can’t see any problems, doesn’t mean it’s not there.
Well, you probably want pain free dentistry. But we’re not allowed to advertise pain free. Everyone’s response to pain is different, so while it should be pain free, we have to preface it with virtually.
Now that’s out of the way…
Beenleigh Marketplace Dental offer sedation options to make you more comfortable during treatment. We provide laughing gas (nitrous oxide) to help calm your nerves; it should also remove the pain associated with dental treatments.
The other sedation option we provide is the Wand. This is a computerised delivery system for anaesthetic. The computerised system helps to remove the discomfort associated with injections. You see, what often hurts with injections is less that initial bee sting of the needle but rather the flow of anaesthetic being injected.
The Wand removes this discomfort by controlling the pressure and flow rate of the anaesthetic. Most of our patients who experience the Wand report no pain at all. But again, keep in mind—everyone experiences pain differently.
If none of the above applies, but you are sure you need dental help. Give us a call. Book a consultation. Our team is always happy to help you receive the dental care you need.
A check-up and clean is good for you anywhere, and during this appointment our friendly team will listen to your concerns and recommend the most appropriate treatment for you. If you would like more information, or to request an appointment at Beenleigh Marketplace Dental, please contact us today.
